| I've seen Doyle fold 10-2 quite a few times, once where the flop came afterwards, 10102. It all depends on his position, stack size, and # of opponents. |

Yeah, i saw him fold 10-2 on tv once but he was last to act and folded them face up saying, "i'd like to but not this time" or something. Any chance he gets though, its showtime... What a curse for WSOP winners, just think of Hachem and how much money he will lose over his lifetime with 73o?  |

| I find AQ to be a fine starting hand in cash games but in tournaments where people seem much more likely to push in pre-flop with mid to low pocket pairs they can be a disaster. I see many times more people pushing in tournaments with 22-88 than anywhere in cash games and all of these hands are a favorite (albeit slight ones) to AQ. And rarely do I see people push with KQ, AJ, etc unless they are desperate so you're likely to be either a small underdog, or a very large underdog to QQ, KK, AA, or AK. I find in cash games that I treat AQ almost like AK, your equity is in getting others to fold pre-flop. I see a lot of people playing it weakly pre-flop because they are worried, then try to play it strongly post-flop because they simply do not want to fold it. |
ur not a dog to ak.. |

I play AQ ssslllllllllllloooooowly, and fold it fast. If you come out betting big preflop, anyone who calls will likely have you dominated.
An A on the flop leaves you afraid of someone with AK, so there's not much you can do there. You can work with a pair of Qs if you hit that, but even that's not all that great. Drawing out two-pair be great, but if you wanted to do that kind of loose stuff, you could do it with lower cards and actually stand to get paid. |

| AQ has actually been a more profitable hand for me than AK. I have no idea why. I don't think I play them that much differently, although I must be more likely to fold AQ than AK. Who knows. Looking through some of my hand histories, it looks like I've sucked out w/ AQ quite a bit, and have had my AK sucked out on just as often. Weird. |

 I"VE HAD IT!!!!!! AQ HAS TO BE THE WORST STARTING CARDS
EVER |
I feel ya.
Yesterday in a two table s&g I get AQ in the SB. I get 3 limpers in front of me and I raise, don't remember exactly, but like 3xBB, BB folds and I get two callers.
flop comes A 9 10, I bet 3xbb again and get reraised by a guy in middle position, other guy folds, because he just limped PF I figured I'm good, but thought maybe he flopped 2 pair, still i call, turn is a 7, with 350 in chips left i go all in, he calls, he has AJ,
So what do I get for my great read?...an 8 on the river, he made a straight. |

| That hand is trouble I tell you. Cost me over 1/3 of my stack at a local tournament. I think we all feel your pain. |
